Provisions for Items Transported on a Supply Vessel

1. INTRODUCTION
The objective of this specification/guideline is to describe/specify the lifting provisions for items
transported on board a supply vessel to a Neptune Energy Platform, located in the Dutch sector
of the North Sea.

This guideline is based on the following standards:


 NORSOK R-002:2017 Lifting equipment
 NORSOK R-002:2017/AC:2019 Corrigendum AC Lifting equipment

2. FIELD OF APPLICATION
This guideline covers all items that will be lifted to and from a supply boat.

2.1 Standard offshore transport containers


The lifting provisions for an offshore transport container as defined in EN-ISO 10855 parts 1, 2
and 3:2018 shall comply with “Industrial Guideline nr. 2 Offshore Containers” as publi shed by
NOGEPA and EN-ISO 10855 parts 1, 2 and 3:2018.

2.2 Lifted objects


The items not being an offshore transport container are in this document referred to as “lifted
object". Items shipped offshore on a supply vessel shall preferably be stowed in an offshore
container. In case an item is too large or too heavy or it is for other reasons impossible to stow
the item in a container this item may be transported as a lifted object on a supply vessel. This
document specifies the requirements that will apply to such lifted objects.
Typical lifted objects are:
 Deck extensions
 Walkways
 Risers
 Equipment
 Containers not being offshore transport containers
 machines, components or equipment with fixed or detachable dedicated lifting points
 modules or structures or with lifting point for intended for lifting during installation,
maintenance and decommissioning. Typical unit weights are from 2 tonnes to 50 tonnes but
may be used for lift ups to 100 tonnes.

Lifted objects are not in themselves lifting equipment but fitted with attachment points for lifting
accessories for lifting onshore, internally, on an offshore installation or between installation and
vessel. Lifted objects also includes objects with detachable transport skid/cradle.

MSD-PROJ-AJ-12-00207 General Specification 207 - Guideline for Lifting 1 Internal


Provisions for Items Transported on a Supply Vessel

Lifted objects as referred to in this document often have typical characteristics, e.g.:
 permanent structure or equipment to be installed as a new part of the installation. Or
moved/removed as part of platform modification or removal
 objects that cannot be lifted with the aid of a load carrier
 often unsymmetrical lifting sets due to defined location of the centre of gravity (COG)
 if a transport cradle is required, the cradle is often designed with defined supports for the
machine or equipment to be transported and sometimes bolted or locked to the equipment
 in some special cases the lifting lugs may partly be located on the lifting cradle and partly
on the equipment to be transported

NOTE Lifted objects stowed in a container may have its own lifting gear. The lifting gear should
be suitable for platform lifts only according to this guideline.

3. DESIGN

3.1 General design requirements


Objects to be lifted between installation and vessel should be designed with fixed lifting points.
If two 2-legged slings are selected to function as a four-legged sling, the lift shall be calculated as
for a four-legged sling.

The lifting arrangement shall be designed in accordance with the following design principles:
 The top link shall be possible to reach by the deck operator at maximum 1 m height above
deck without climbing on the load
 For loads with weight of more than 25 tonnes the top links shall be laid down along the deck
at least 1.5 m from the load
 use 2, 3 or 4 lifting points if possible. More than 4 should be avoided
 working angle (from vertical) should be between 15 degrees and 45 degrees. If the sling
angle from vertical is less than 15 degrees, all loads shall be calculated as taken by one sling
 hook to be positioned vertically above COG to give a steady lift
 equal length slings to be used as far as possible
 large differences in sling lengths shall be avoided
 wire rope for lifting slings shall have a minimum diameter of 13 mm
 lifting chains shall have a minimum diameter of 8 mm

NOTE Normal fabrication tolerances in sling lengths and shift in COG may lead to all load transferred
in one sling leg if sling angle from vertical is less than 15 degrees.
Slings should be protected from edges, friction and abrasion, whether from the load or the lifting
appliance.
As a general rule, the lifting lugs/attachment points should be located higher than the COG of the
load to be sure the lift does not tip over.
Pad eyes for connection to lifting set should be oriented to ensure that the resulting sling force on
each pad eye acts in the plane of the pad eye (+/- 2°).

The lever arm effect in bolted connections, causing tension load in bolts and bending stresses in
flanges shall be taken into accounted in the design calculations.

MSD-PROJ-AJ-12-00207 General Specification 207 - Guideline for Lifting 1 Internal


Provisions for Items Transported on a Supply Vessel

The lifted object and its lifting set shall be without geometrical details giving risk of entanglement
between lifted unit and surrounding or between lifted object and lifting set. All groups of portable
units should be free from protruding parts outside the envelope of the lifted object, i.e. details and
parts that may catch or damage other load, load carriers or structures are not allowed. Protruding
parts representing a risk for overload to crane in case of entanglement to the vessels during lifting
operation are not allowed.

If the above-mentioned requirements could not be fully met, risk reducing measures to protect the
lifting set from damage should be described in instructions for lifting. Instructions should be provided
to ensure that lifted objects with protruding parts are placed with some open space > 1.5 m around
the load on the supply vessel to minimize risk for entanglement to other load or openings in cargo
rail.
In cases where the lifting set may be damaged by catching its lifted object, the lifting set should be
designed or equipped to enable securing the lifting set. Such securing may be temporary, such as
e.g. ropes plastic strips, etc. The instructions shall describe proper securing.

3.3.2 Working load limit (WLL)


The working load limit (WLL) is defined as follows:
WLL = W * WCF (3.3.2-1)
where
WLL = weight of the lifted object W including weight contingency and excluding the lifting
sling set
W = estimated weight of the lifted object
WCF = weight contingency factor as defined in the table below
The weight of the lifted object shall be multiplied with a contingency factor according to Table 3.3.2-
1 based on the method used defining the weight.

3.3.3 Centre of gravity (COG) envelope factor WCOG


For weighed objects or objects with a simple weight pattern: W COG = 1.0
For unweighed objects or objects with a complex weight pattern: W COG = 1.1
Examples of structures with simple weight pattern are single elements, pipes or equipment, simple
trusses or deck sections, or packages where weight and centre of gravity (COG) can be accurately
calculated.

3.3.4 Skew load factor (SKL)


Skew loads are additional loads from redistribution due to equipment and fabrication tolerances and
other uncertainties with respect to force distribution in the rigging arrangement.
The following SKL values should be used when the rigging fulfils the following criteria:
 sling lengths within fabrication tolerances
 approximately symmetrical sling configuration with a working angle not more than 45 degrees
from the vertical

Table 3.3.4-1 - Skew load factor - usual rigging design and slings within tolerances
Lifting Configuration SKL
Single hook 4 point lift without spreader bar (statically indeterminate) 1.25
Single hook 4 point lift with 1 or 2 floating spreader bars 1.10
Tandem lift and 4 point lifts (statically determinate) 1.00
3 point lift or less (statically determinate) 1.00
If the rigging has a less optimal design or geometry, an increased SKL shall be considered.
Reference is made to DNVGL-ST-N001.
NOTE With a rigid load the majority of the weight may be taken by only three, or even two, of the
legs, with the remaining legs only serving to balance the load.

3.3.5 Dynamic amplifying factor (DAF)


Standard dynamic amplifying factor to be used when designing lifted objects and their corresponding
accessories shall be:
Onshore lifts/platform (inboard lifts) on fixed or floating installations:
DAF = 1.5 for WLL ≤ 50 tonnes (3.3.5-1)
NOTE The DAF for lifting accessories shall never be selected less than 1.5 for load up to 50 tonnes
in order to comply with safety factors according to the Machinery Directive.
The following dynamic factor shall be used for the design of lifting arrangement of objects for offshore
lifting by offshore pedestal crane.

Offshore lifts for WLL ≤ 50 tonnes:

3.3.7 Material resistance factor, Rm

Lifting accessories:
Check against minimum breaking load (MBL):
Wire rope slings: Rm = 2.0
Chain slings: Rm = 1.8
Shackle and rings (incl. master links) Rm = 1.8
Fibre slings Rm = 2.8

Structural members and sections:


Check against characteristic resistance:
Lifting lugs and structural parts Rm = 1.15
Bolts and welds Rm = 1.3

For structures, bolted connections, welded connections and lifting lug design the material resistance
factors may be selected according to above factors or other recognised standards like EN 13001-3-
1 and EN 1993-1-1 Eurocode 3 may be used.
NOTE Capacity of structural parts, bolts and welds are checked against yield limits for steel in
accordance with recommended standards. Lifting components like slings, shackles and rings are
checked against minimum breaking load. Thus, the safety levels for all load bearings components
are considered to be approximately equal.

3.3.8 Design factor (DF)


The design factor DF is defined as:
DF = p· c (3.3.8-1)
where
p = partial load factor
c = consequence factor
